About us

Soon our personal devices will automatically track every step we take, every calorie we burn, every minute we sleep. But data alone is useless. It tells us where we need to improve, but not how to improve.

That’s where PocketProf comes in. We take your data and turn it into behavioural medicine – to help you sleep better, stop smoking and worry less, without pills or potions.

Co-Founded by entrepreneur Peter Hames and Oxford University psychologist Professor Colin Espie, our goal is to help billions of people worldwide sleep better, stop smoking and worry less – without pills or potions.

Our first product - Sleepio

Our first product, Sleepio, is a digital sleep improvement program featuring proven cognitive and behavioural techniques, led by your virtual expert The Prof and his narcoleptic dog Pavlov.

In a world-leading clinical trial Sleepio has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to face to face therapy, and many times more effective than sleeping pills. The Lancet called Sleepio “A proven intervention for sleep disorders using the internet…from www to zzz”.
